No one's hurt. It's just that we can't

seem to get the car out.

Uh, is there a garage nearby?

For whom?

The only car around here for miles is

the one that belongs to our gardener.

Well, your gardener has a car.

That's wonderful.

Oh, you should see it.

It was left here after the war.

- Ajeep?

- Oh, no, no, no. Not that war. The one before it.

Oh. But still, i-it would

be better than nothing.

I'd be very glad

to pay for the use of it.

I think you better see it first. I will ask

the gardener to push it around in the front.

- Push it?

- Oh, only to start it.

After that-

it marches.

Julie! Julie!

Oui, madame?

I was watching that girl. She seems quite unusual.

Has a wonderful way with children.

Perhaps it's because

she is one of them.

I, myself, found her

and named her.

- She has lived her whole 18 years here.

- Is that so?

Oh, but that is not getting

your car out of the ditch.

- I will fetch the gardener. He is working with the potatoes.

- Thank you.

I have spoken

to the gardener.

M- l-L-K

Yes. Every once in a while one meets

a person who has it in her...

to take life and make

something wonderful of it.

Seems a shame.

Oh, I don't mean...

that this isn't a wonderful

place, a good life-

Oh, monsieur, don't apologize.

I do my job very well...

and I know Julie

will even do it better.

- Julie what?

- Julie Andre.

- But, uh, for a young woman to spend her

life here- Oh! - Oh, but she's so attractive.

- Surely there must be some young man who-

- Oh, yes.

There is the widow farmer

who needs a wife.

He sells us our eggs every week and lately has

been giving us an extra dozen free of charge.

I am very, very nervous. You know, we need

the eggs for the children, and yet-Aah!

- Handkerchiefs too, huh?

- Oh-ho-ho, you have noticed our ginghams.

A little while back we were notified we were

going to receive 2,000 yards of cloth.

Oh, monsieur,

we were so excited!

And then it came.

All blue and white

checkered.

Oh, sometimes I wish charity

would not be so mechanical, so cold, so-

- So all blue and white.

- Precisely.

Oh, the car is waiting, monsieur.

- After all, that's what I came for, isn't it?

- Yes, but this car...

is not very obedient.

You better think twice before you even get into it.

Hi, Alec!

Stop making noises like an ambassador,

"Alex," and answer the question.

How do I go about

adopting a French orphan?

Now, look, Jerv. You stumbled
